Turbine, Hear Hear,
Collective Bias,
WOW, you have 1000hours, terrific, you should have a party, cause your still alive. I started flying helicopters at 17, don't give me this age bulls@#t, and I got my ATPL and IFR ratings years ago, and I can tell you all that theory has no bearing on an OPERATORs performance. The ATPL theory and IFR theory are paper examinations, designed to meet the regulations at the time, over the years they change, you gain more knowledge by experience, not by examinations. Just because you have been through hard times you suddenly think you have some god damn right to knock back kids who have the same dream as all of us, its people like you that give me the sh#@s. WE ALL started with no hours and dreams, if some turkey like you was around when I started i wouldve jumped off nearest bridge. Flying helicopters is not hard, don't fool yourself sonny youre no specially gifted person, Brain surgery, digging ditches and picking apples is HARD, don't fool others, if you don't like the industry, do us all a favour and leave and give someone else a go,
Theres OPERATORS and pilots, the system sorts them out, OPERATORS work, and pilots sit around bars telling stories, sound familiar?
Right on Mr.T
